iptables won't remember rules

I'm trying to get azureus to work in conjunction with iptables. Using the commands given on the azureus wiki (http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php...es_.28Linux.29) to allow traffic through a designated port. After issuing the commands, I can see that they have been added from the output of iptables -L

Code:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)

target    prot opt source              destination        

ACCEPT    udp  --  anywhere            anywhere            udp dpt:52151 state NEW 

ACCEPT    tcp  --  anywhere            anywhere            tcp dpt:52151 flags:SYN,RST,ACK/SYN state NEW 



Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

target    prot opt source              destination        



Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

target    prot opt source              destination

However, when I restart my computer, the rules have been forgotten. Is there a command which I have to run to save the rules?

Thanks in advance,

Put the commands you want to run in a script that gets run every time your computer boots. The obvious script to use would be the bootscript that sets up your firewall.

ah, something so simple! I'm not sure if I put it in the right script (/etc/rc.d/rc.modules?) but it seems to have worked.

Thanks :)
